Unusual fact…hmmm. How about…I own more leotards than pairs of jeans. Or maybe that isn't unusual. It definitely shouldn't be, in my opinion.

LOVE.

LOVE! sorry no tweets for me… but i do love to color block.

My most favorite fact about myself is that I met Bob Barker when I was 11 and got to spend the day on the set of the Price is Right. Yes, I spun the wheel and it is very heavy! The best part of that trip is that I met Rod Roddy before he past away and during soundcheck he called me to "COME ON DOWN"

I never enter contests, but I am doing this only so I can tell you, I love you.
That's right, love. Can you feel it beating through the computer screen? I hope so.

Creepiness aside:

Something weird about myself. I don't like the way I look in symmetrical outfits haha.

Cute color blocking ps.

Just tweeted that I love you before I even read these rules! Man Repeller = woman attracter, it would seem.

I love your blog, and although I am unsuccessful at man repelling (I have a boyfriend), I still try to emulate your look – sometimes causing my boyfriend not wanting to be seen in public with me

not a fan of the green tights, but like the look just before that addition! thank you for sharing. love the red shirt and purple shorts.

Fact: I just moved to St. Louis from New York City, and there is no culture of man-repelling (or chasing wacky fashion) here, and that makes me so, so sad. So now I have all these boner-defying fashions and nowhere to wear them. And the weird part of it is – that has more than once made me sob uncontrollably.

Unusual fun fact: my friends and I like to "mom dance" when we go out. We take man repelling to a whole new level through the art of comedy dancing. Little do people know, dancing like your mother is fun and addictive, even if you look like a total ass.

I love your blog. Found it through my blogger friend, Amelia pontes.

Fun fact: I used to be the king (yes, king) of all man-repellers. I refused to be called a girl, wore exclusively Umbro shirts with huge tucked in t-shirts boasting sassy sayings including "You talkin' to ME?" with visible socks, and my beloved Sambas. I dug for bones during recess and called myself an archaeologist. And I did all of the above sans stylish irony.

Oh… and I love you.

I'm actually a wee bit afraid of wearing a single piece of bold colour. But rather, I prefer to wear 3584534 pieces of bold colour all yelling over each other and clawing their way to be the first to catch your eye (sorta muting each other out). I'm and all or nothing kind of girl, I guess

Hey! I'm Laura, from the wonderful Rome, and yes, I love you a LOT!!

Fun fact #1 My boyfriend calls me "banana", because my skin is really delicate and it takes nothing to get covered in bruises all over my body! A pinch = greenish bruise

Fun fact #2 I actually wrote a post about color-blocking in my blog, click on my name above and go reading it!

My name is Makena Cahill and I have chronic matching disorder. I've been using your blog as a cure – because there is nothing better for chronic matching disorder than assailing your eyes with the combination of argyle and leopard. I, too, hope to one day mix prints (and repel men) with such confidence and grace.

Fun fact about me is that I only see out of one eye at a time. I had crossed eyes until I was 2 years old and although they corrected it, I only see out of one eye at a time and when I get tipsy, my lazy eye gets CRAZY!

Maybe if I won the precious bag I could carry some sunnies with me to put them on when I've had too much?

I am an Irish dancer, so I regularly go out in public wearing a wig and a dress made entirely of sequins! It's pretty man repelling, human repelling even.

Hi! I love you so much I accidentally sent my entire office your "make your own suspenders" post when I was TRYING to send it to a stylish (aka man-repelling expert) coworker. Whoopsies!

Freak Fact: I'm a 5th generation Seattleite, where man-repelling works the opposite way it was designed to work, because men here think Tivas with Orca monogramed socks are sexy.

1.) done!
2.) I hate you!
3.) unusual fact: i tend to say the opposite of what people want me to say, just because i have to. yes, i HAVE to!

lots of love from vienna <3

An unusual fact, you ask? Well I have scoliosis (my spine is curved) so I have to wear a back brace. It's a thick inflexible piece of plastic that covers my entire torso, from the top of my back to the very bottom!
It looks something like this masterpiece by Hussein Chalayan except uglier and more medical looking:
http://cultureofdesign.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/3_hussein-chalayan1.jpg

Sure my brace is uncomfortable and it makes bending over to pick up something on the floor nearly impossible and what not, but the biggest downside of it is that there are so many incredible clothes that I can't wear with it! When I wear it, I look more like a box/robot than a real person. Then again, it instantly turns me from a man repeller to a human repeller, which is alway a good thing! Another bonus? If you try to attack me, the joke's on you! People have tried punching the brace. I can't feel a thing but it kills their hand!

III. I skyped my dog for an hour and 14 minutes yesterday. No one else was home at my parents house but my lovely sister set up the computer in front of my dog's beddy before she left to go shopping at value village. Speaking of Value Village or Vagina village or VV I belong to an excited up and coming blog called thegreyestgarden where we post our great finds from this magical second hand store. I find our outfits can fall under the category of man repelling. Feel free to take a look.
Keep on repelling!

Fun fact: when I was a baby, I was in a post office with my mom and so was Robert Redford. He offered to hold me while my mom mailed something, and I wore his Ray Bans. I don't remember it, but my mom says he is a very kind man, and very handsome up close. That's my claim to fame!

The fact I feel I am the Asian/more in debt/ not as fashionably superior (superior in a cool way, YET) version of you, my love for you naturally climbs the snowy-styled peaks of wit and flair via admiration and the onset of stalking at a very rapid pace.

An usual fact about myself is definitely not that I used to think men's Dickie's shorts should always match your tube socks and converse, otherwise one would just look way off…but that I have a knack for coming up with the seemingly perfect way to say a store's name–to an almost harmonious onomatopoeia effect. Yes, can be subjective, but entirely true. Kind of like cargo pants.

Miss you though I don't know you,
Tracy #contestlosingrepeller

I LOVA YA! Or to spice it up a bit I'll say it in Irish "Is aoibhinn liom tusa".

I'm a small town girl that loves fashion…also a problem. None of my friends have heard of Balenciaga or Proenza Schouler, and they think I'm a little nutty.

FACT: You have found the art and science of man-repelling. I, on the other hand, have discovered the how-to of woman-getting. Think it's the same thing? Just don anything reminiscent of Jil Sander's spring line and VOILA! Immediately men go flacid and it's lady boners every where? WRONG. Dress like Justin Bieber!!!!!!! No seriously, this is my unusual fun fact…The only time I ever have been attracted to a girl was when I saw this lesbo dressed like Justin Bieber. She even had the voice down <3 ahhhhh

i love you, and you are seriously my hero.

I don't tweet

Interesting fact: i can burst clouds apart with my mind. you can too, if you focus intently on a cloud and imagine it bursting apart.

Fine, now I'm on twitter, following Be & D. And The Man Repeller. But I don't intend to tweet. My life is not that interesting.

I DO love you, Man Repeller! I DO! Which is really, really strange b/c I am not your demographic. A) I am old: 38. B) I am not a man repeller; well, not intentionally. My husband would say I sport some outifts that qualify as man repelling. The guy is not a fan of prints. Or bright colors. Or chunky jewelry. He's cute, though!

Here's me: mjpilgrim@msn.com

Here's a weird fact about me: My husband told his college buddies he was going to marry me BEFORE he'd even met me! Even though I was probably sporting bleached-out Guess jeans with ankle zippers, a purple cropped Benetton sweater, and, sigh, loafers. Honestly, if that wasn't man repelling, what is?

I love you Man-Repeller!!!!

You are loved my me, immensely.

I really like eating pineapple chunks with cottage cheese. Could this be a cousin of color-blocking, unconventional food-blocking perhaps? I once ate it on a first date and the man repelling side effects were stupendous.

@barborawrites on twitter (following Be & D)

I love you so much, I am reading this blog and being a terrible intern at ELLE Magazine (in Canada) while my editors are behind me…shhhhh!!

Also the fun fact…

A few weeks ago when wearing my most repelling (read: stunning) ankle length white fur coat (think CHANEL FW2010), I walked past a homeless man and his dog.

The dog lurched for me.

"No Rex! That's not a giant chew toy!" He yelled and pulled him back.

I giggled and winked at him, grateful for the compliment.

Fun fact: I am a broke college student whose only income is to steal tips people leave at the bar. This purse will provide a home or all those dollar bills.

An unusual fact? well it's hard but I would say that I can't shut my mouth in a party for example and I will just tell everyone about shamefull things about me, how weird is that (such as… when I was 8 years old I created a website about ponies) and I just tell the story to everyone as if I should be proud! This is a vocal manrepelling thing truly!

1. Following!
2. I love you and love to live vicariously through you. I actually said to myself after getting dressed the other morning, "Man Repeller would be so proud!"
3. Megan Younce, megosaurus@gmail.com, @meganyounce, formerly known as @hitrayaledi (which so happens to be a very loose Russian translation of "Foxy Lady").

Funusual fact/party trick: I can write simultaneously with both hands, but in opposite directions. My left hand will be writing the mirror image of whatever my right hand is writing! Oh the fun things one can discover when bored in college Spanish class.

ps. I met a girl recently who said my shoes gave her a "lady boner", after apologizing for nearly hitting me with her car.

Naturally, I gave her the link to your blog.

A fun fact about me? Well that's tough cause I'm sooo funny ;D haha, no. I always peel my apples before eating them. I just don't like the skin, and we don't eat the skin on oranges, so why should we eat it on apples? XD

4. Fun Fact: When I was an intern for Focus Features a drunken and disheveled Joaquin Phoenix kicked me while wiping his boots off on the red carpet at the Reservation Road premiere. He did not apologize. So honored to have received a taste of the taxing method acting that went into his riveting performance in "I'm Still Here."

following you both on twitter. duuuuh, i love you – maybe too much though and you might have to take out a restraining order on my super creepy lurker self. Let's tweet, @meesow00.

Oh and interesting fact? I repel both sexes with my love for my dogs. HAAA

And I'm terrified of birds, although I do own pieces of clothing with birds on them. Just don't make me get too close to a real one.

I've decided it would be best to express my love for you in the form of a haiku:

I really love you
More than my shoe collection
Platypus are rad

And a weird (but not too weird that you just find it disturbing because who wants to give a disturbingly weird girl a cute purse, right?) yet fun fact about myself? Hmm.

This one time, I was dueling my father, except I didn't know it was him, and he sliced my hand off. But it was okay, because I had a robotic one made.

Okay. Yeah–so that might have been part of the plotline to Star Wars. Maybe.

For realsies now: I can sing the fifty states in alphabetical order. With jazz hands–for much needed pizazz. Also, I live in Canada. Not that it would be any cooler if I lived in the US. But still.

Hello, Man Repeller. I love you. I love your blog. I love this giveaway.

I didn't really care about fashion until a few years ago, when I began working with marine mammals. I got so tired of smelling like fish all the time, being sweaty and covered in manatee poop- and only wearing huge t-shirts and mens swim trunks and tevas. I quietly rebelled against this indignity by learning more and more about fashion through fashion blogs such as this one, and by being the only one not wearing flip-flops at a work related social function. The horror!

you're color blocking abilities are quite impressive – the purple and tomato – ingenious!

anywho… i already LOVE BE&D; (and you, of course) on Twitter of course

Fun fact: I've been a black belt in tae kwon do since I was 11 and set the record for my age group by breaking the most boards with a sidekick at 10 (it was 6in btw). I may be a tomboy/athlete at heart with the 5 knee surgeries to prove it, but I'm a sucker for fantabulous fashion and great photography.

Happy Monday

1) I love your website, thank Lucky Mag/ everyone else for reminding me how much so. Never apologize for green tights either, I get peter pan references all the time and I dont care!
2) Elisabeth (with an "S")Zuerker, Ezuerker@gmail.com, @ezlistening
3)2 fun facts: a.I'll be using some of my very little vacay to do spring break with my sisters/parents in… NYC (from Dallas) on 3/11 so convenient for me to just pick that little purse up from ya or whatever- no shipping required! At a public location of course- I'm not a bad person but I figure you might be hungover again and coffee is helpful. b. My face is at least 40% titanium, I sometimes set of metal detectors when going through airport metal detectors which makes traveling all the more fun and I think I am on some TSA list so I always get a little extra search loving. Plus my sister has Mono, we are going to be the most fun people trying to get into NYC

Alis Gorman loves you
My fun fact: I walked to work last week and wondered what the odd clunking sound was, I looked down and realised I had odd shoes on, one flat the other with a small heel making the clunking noise, shoes were different colours as well…I think traditional man repelling,just get up late and throw anything on…..alison@gormanmail.net

OH my I do love you Man Repeller, you are awesome, I have gotten all my friends addicted to your site.

Strange Fact: When I was born my mother decided it would be best to name me after nursery rhymes. My first name is Jill ( Jack and Jill went up the hill…etc) and my middle name is Piper (Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers..etc) I think Mother Goose might be my Moms hero and I feel as though a color blocked purse would look fantastic on THE nursery rhyme mascot (AKA me).

You are adorable! I didn't know you were in college! Don't fashion people just never age? That's what it seems like to me, so I just overestimate ages. I love that you embrace dressing for yourself rather than guys. Oh and I really like your eyebrows.

My weird fact… er… life.
Being a Man Repeller and a Nano-Engineering major is AWESOME. There are only ~3/50 girls in each of my classes to start, and I stick out like WHAM BAM among the other engineering girls… [and SoCal girls in general]

Just to be clear, there is definitely a place for that Be&D; bag in my closet. Repel we shall, and wont let you down.

AMAZING POST. You are such a freaking inspiration. The more Man Repelling, the better. Bring it on. I heart you, Leandra.

I am in love with you and this bag (see my tweet)! I was just saying I am on the hunt for a bag with a tan and honeysuckle combo and there is not one to be found. I have been playing on the B&D; site for hours now! Ok, sorry, back to what you asked for…

Unusual Fact:
I now live in Washington, DC and have been trying to bring Man Repelling to our Nations Capital by writing (my blog) and leading by example (color blocking — I literally just wrote about color blocking on my blog too), mixing prints, and buttoning my top all the way up). Although this may not seem unusual to most, it is VERY odd in DC. People truly in love with fashion are few and far between, and I quite often feel like I am the only one. I would LOVE to rock this bag in DC and show them how it is done!

Man Repelling-ly Yours,

Lacey

i enjoy this blog and have been following it for quite some time. I feel you take it to far sometimes (a lot of the time). I love practically everything as a solo piece, or with 2 or 3 other crazy/different things; but what is the point in making it go from looking uniquely attractive, to ugly, repelling, and often painful to look at?? Most clothing articles that us women, who are knowledgeable about fashion, are already "man-repelling" solo. 6 of these articles put together just gets repulsive (most of the time). I love to mix and mismatch my clothes; but they still reflect my unique, artistic, classy, pretty, feminine, and fashionably conscious style. AND trust me, the men scatter.

First things first… I love you! That trumps all the other info that I am about to leave.

in the vein of man repelling, i'll tell you about my childhood man repelling tendencies. while a man-repelling toddler is actually probably a good thing i've realized that i'm no further in adulthood to attracting real life fellas, probably because of my early childhood. my most favorite accessory was wearing my food in my hair. the process is somewhat difficult, comparable to looking like a stylish beach bum (looks simple but in reality takes much honing of skill), but involves the steady rubbing and building up of cake, pasta, potatoes, jello, peanut butter and other tempting treats. after that had been accomplished i'd put on my woolen onesie and zip it down to just below my belly button. i'd slick my hair back just a bit more and walk around pretending to be elvis, a man that wasn't even around when i grew up because i was only born in 1990. i know, such a poser. whatever. i do what i want.

you are my absolute favorite. i love you.

My father is the 3rd generation owner of our family's funeral home. My brother and I both tried to help out and were funeral directors/apprentices in our early 20s. Dress code was pretty professional but my favorite fashion memory was dressing up as my brother when we had to work together on Halloween. Pinstripe pants, bright button down, completely different color sweater, mismatched socks, magic marker tattoos (covered respectfully with long sleeves)semi-birth control glasses. My brother also has great fashion sense, and I love him too!

OH SHIT. I FORGOT.

I LOVE YOU.

numero uno: i do love you. not because you told me to.
numero dos: i was supposed to be a twin, but i ate all the other one's food as a feotus…. in a way it may have been a good thing, i don't think anyone could handle two of me.

First, love you. Second, both of my parents work at the school I attend, as well as my brother and sister both having graduated from there. "Too close for comfort", "smothering" and "excessive parenting" have taken on a whole other meaning in my life since the time I was 4.

When I was about 7, my brother was 4 and we liked to swim like fools in our backyard pool. My mom didn't let us keep food near the pool because gd forbid we get it in the pool. So you can imagine my surprise when my mom asked me to pick up the "popcorn" in the pool near my brother. I swam over to my brother in my gold lame one piece with the belly cut out and tied on the sides. I grabbed the "popcorn" and swam to the edge of the pool. I took a closer look at what my dear mother had asked me to pick up and could you believe it, it was POOP. Shit. POOP. Shit. Poop. I picked up my little brother's shit from the pool and held it in my hand. And if you made me share that horrific story and don't gift me a bag, I'm gonna go all sharpie on my Kooba bag from a few years ago.

1. love this blog, it's brilliant.

short story: I used to temp for a network late night host, facilitating with audience load and spill. and to be a member of the audience, our American guests had to wait upwards of three hours to watch a live taping. so, to pass the time, and keep the crowd in remotely high spirits: I told stories. to whoever would listen! and without fail, our patrons would exclaim that I was JUST like Ellen DeGeneres. or, given my short haircut, Brooks Brothers pants suit, oxfords, and the sweaters I inherited from my grandfather that peaked out from my blazer, they would mistake me for a young boy.

1) why, certainly.

2) grab a mirror, look only at your lips, then pretend they're mine while mouthing the words: "olive juice." get it? cool, creepy, or maybe even…*gasp* repellent?

3) unusual fact: i like mini toiletries. okay fine…i hoard mini toiletries.

whoops, forgot something. and now i've commented twice. does this mean i doubly love you? maybe. or maybe it's a case of the mondays and i should have color blocked my outfit today.

Fact: I know from experience that it takes 10 stamps to send a coconut. And I've been told they make good anniversary gifts, but let me tell you now, some menfolk do not find them grand (in other words, they repel the men without a sense of humor. And no it was not me who discovered this on my own, but a group of us, who received in return a lovely "what the hell is this" and firm placement into the friend zone as a group). Also, it took so much strength and thought not to write the date and my class period after my name. I am so clearly in Hugh school. Which of course means that when I dint spend enough time dressing to rpel, mama nature is there to help.

First things first, could you seriously be any funnier?! I truly do love your blog (and you!) – your posts as well as your tweets crack me up!

Second, I have scheduled a day strictly for color(/cock)blocking in the near future – can't wait to put this trend into full-force in my wardrobe!

just declared my love to you via twitter, which should really mean something given that it's my 3rd post since 2009.
i admit i have a boyfriend, though he is 100% pro man-repelling since it ensures that he is the only one who knows what's "under this." he does, however, think it's weird that sometimes i'd rather amorously ogle at women in strange outfits than hang out with him. go figure.

love,

Followed.

I love you, but only platonically, because if it were the other way, neither you nor I would be repellent.

And I love fashion, but I'm also a rocket scientist. I actually work on Mars Sample Return. And I'm the most stylish rocket scientist in the business (well, female one…because my friend Bobak is the most stylish male one, except he has a fauxhawk. Which probably makes him repellent, too.)

fun story…when i came back from a semester abroad in japan, in the immigration line, the workers there kept asking me "are you a citizen? are you a citizen?" apparently they thought i was a foreigner who was standing in the wrong line. i attribute it to my purple tights and blue skirt (color blocking!), straw hat and shiny shoes. i guess the look was too japanese street style??

I would tell you I loved you but we have only just met you see and I have intimacy issues……….

I tweet by the name of IvoryCrush
I answer strange requests at ivory.crush@yahoo.co.uk
Strangers shout 'Flick' at me on the street so I guess thats my name

1) I have a fear of odd numbers (yes really) everything has to be done with an even number including the amount of garments/Jewelry I wear

2) I have developed my own language that I use to converse with my two year old chihuahua. No one else understands it and I like it that way…

3) My sister used to force feed me soap when we were kids

4) When I hear 'Holiday' by Madonna I have an uncontrollable urge to stand on the nearest table and pull moves you have not seen since 1983…

fact: I have an odd personal belief that take-away coffee, or thermal mug, makes a fierce fashion statement, and holding one in your hand, strutting your way somewhere, is the finishing touch to a "I'm so hip/cool/popular/busy/dont touch me" look. Due to my clumsiness I have coffee stains in clothes that are expensive to dry-clean.

I love you and this blog and also have found a new passion for repelling men.

I was kinda a tomboy teenager and volunteered to help my dad trim our treehouse tree. I mistakenly transformed a branch into a missile that landed on my ladder and sent me flying into the air and onto the ground, breaking my two wrists. I don't know how I didn't pass out. I didn't feel any pain– I just couldn't move my hands at all. Ever since the surgery, my wrists can do this funny cracking noise if I move them the right (or wrong) way. I can dance to them. It's like I have maracas for wrists. Or do I have Moroccan wrists? EEEP, do they have a passport?

Of course I love you. I only read shit I love. I do follow you on twitter.

I have a lot of tattoo's but I don't look like I should have tattoo's. I'm like the shy, librarian type, yet when I open my mouth I cuss like a sailor. One other weird fact about me. I used to want to be a nun. Seriously. I thought it would be awesome to live in some convent and not have to worry about anything except praying and sleeping. Not now though. I don't do religion.

Thanks~

Although not as bold as you, I repel more than the rest
Occasionally clad in sequin hats, I scored the almost man-repelling on your test
And while I don't tweet, I figured I'd give this a shot
Because that color-blocking bag would def only attract twat
Being that you are one of the only blogs I religiously follow, my love I will confess
I'd like to put you in that bag as an accessory to my dress
Now that may have sounded creepy, and poss a little lezzy if you will
An interesting fact about me is I can beat any boy at bowling-it could drive men to kill

This is how I'm weird: When I first created my email address back in 1995 or whatever, I had read some article that was like "YOUNG GIRLS ON THE INTERNET, BEWAAAAARE" so I didn't want to make an email with my real name. I was really into lobsters at the time (I still don't really know why), so I used my first and middle initials and then "lobster." Little did I know that this would condemn me to a life of being the girl who gets given shit with lobsters on it, FOREVER. Name a thing, and I probably have one with a lobster on it. Hat? YUP. Shirt? YES. Huge enamel platter? MM-HM. Cheese knife? YOU BET.

But now it's my twitter handle so I'm into it. Also I am into you.

I am following both BE&D; as well as you on Twitter. My handle is @glattebyjamie

Of course I am a huge fan of the blog which means I have nothin but love for you!

Fun fact: I'm too sexy for my shirt, so sexy it hurts Does that mean I'm not a man repeller?

And I still sleep with a "stuffed" bunny rabbit who now looks like an old sock. I am 24 living with my 32 year old boyfriend and cannot get rid of this thing. it is HIDEOUS. it has no ears, no arms and half a leg. it is seriously something out of a scary movie. but i absolutely cannot sleep without it. wont. will not. no way. my bunny is #1 in the bedroom (too much?).

I wish I could just give you a compilation of all my go to facts. I play a lot of ice breakers.

I don't know if you are vulger and crude… I am vulger and crude… so I'm just going to let you know. Last night I watched the best S&M; documentary ever. I learned about rubber fetishes and submission. I think I may have found my career– dominatrix. Mom doesn't need to know that I am not applying to law school.
Oh and I am attracted to movie stars in their old age… like Christopher Walken. So tasty. So classy. He is my man. I feel like the two facts go together.

Dear(est) ManRepller,

I love you, and am IN love with you.

Not only do I repel men with my clothing, but with my secret hobby, which is playing Dungeons and Dragons. My character is a 12 year old girl named Amy Smith who's an ace with a bow and arrow and who can talk to plants and animals. Oh, and she/I/cries with lonliness has a snake familiar named Biter. Also my previous character, a sorceress named Mila, got her head bashed in by a flesh golem.
So yeah, if that's not interesting, at least I should be rewarded for estranging the last bastion of the man-repellent…the internet.
Love forever,

Unusual Fact: despite being fearless in many ways (dressing like a rainbow every day, moving to England without ever visiting, regularly buying shoes that will, in all likelihood make my feet bleed, etc.) I carry the flame of fear in my heart for one thing. MOTHS. Like tiny birds of death, made of beguiling and sinister powder, that are attracted to human scent and will eat your most loved clothes. They are evil, EVIL.

I love your attitude and blog because
1. I had to wear a mid-calf pleated polyester/wool blend navy uniform skirt until I was eighteen and even though I hated it, I also loved it because it was so bad, it was good. I feel you can relate.
2. I made it to the high school dress code handbook for those tattoo-wire necklaces that were popular in the late 90s. After me, they were banned.
3. My grandmother gave me a pin that a friend's husband said to me in all in-credulousness, "that is the most hideous piece of jewelery I have ever seen." It is silver and huge and depicts a carp jumping out of the water. The carp looks like it's in agony. It was handmade in Mexico in the 40s.
4. You give me confidence to wear the stuff I love that the general masses don't understand.

Loooove this blog and you of course! Fun fact: I love sleeping outside on my porch/balcony in the summertime. Something about the stars, fresh air, and awesomeness of being under the open sky is totally fantastic! Also, LOVE wearing what I want and trying my fashions out on the world.

I follow you and B & D on twitter, love you of course, I'm following your blog aren't I? I've told many a man and woman about your blog and frankly a lot of them don't get it, but that's when i roll my eyes, walk away and assume that they are probably repelled by me anyway, their loss.
Fun Fact: My parents have always let me pick out my clothes. 1st shirt: hot pink, with a cat on it that read "Do The Watusi!" Everyone asked me what "The Watusi," was and I didn't know, nor did I care. Needless to say, I spent kindergarten chasing the boys around the playground and not vice versa. That year my parents gave me $100 and let me choose my own gift. I chose a white, faux fur coat, what else! They should have known they had a little man repeller on their hands. I was also sporting the tights as pants trend around the same time, way before the gaga. See the link for a photo, and yes, that is a smurfs shirt, always in style. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?id=201406657&aid;=2180205#!/photo.php?fbid=638093719925&set;=a.633546223145.2180205.201406657&theater;

3. In sixth grade I met my true love. His name was Patrick, he had red hair and was so intelligent I just wanted to listen to him talk all day. Part of me strongly believes that if he came back to find me today, I'd let him sweep me off my feet and take me anywhere. But anyway, the fun fact is what I wore back then to accompany my braces and frizzy brown hair that resembled a yield sign from the back: lace bobby socks with white k-swiss sneakers and a glorious Catholic school uniform. Can you say #Manrepellerposterchild? Not sure what part of that decision was mine and what was my mother's. Nevertheless, we do learn a lesson from the strange conglomeration of articles I decided to clothe myself with and it is that no matter what level of man repeller you currently prounce about upon, there will always be someone you will fall in love with… and who will fall in love with you right back.

While I am sure that this did not go with my “Tiffany & Co.” theme (I know, yet another embarassing fact about this coming of age story) I was totally convinced that this giveaway item would defiinitley make my Bat Mitzvah cooler than the other kids at my Temple. Obviously, I knew how to repel men from a young age, snobery and poor taste in music.

Unusual fact: I have a completely irrational fear of Bigfoot. When I was little I watched this TV special about Bigfoot and it scarred me for life. For years I had reoccurring dreams where I was lost in the woods and Bigfoot was a-comin' for me and there was nothing I could do. Plus, I live in the Northwest, so Bigfoot is like a THING here. And several years ago I took the train from Montana to Seattle and it travels through some really remote areas, and all I could do was stare out the window and think, "Where are ya, buddy?" Furthermore, whenever I am camping and hear a strange noise my mind immediately jumps to, "Bigfoot?!" I know that it's COMPLETELY irrational, and I actually don't even believe he exists, but I can't help the crazy.

I'm Sophie, and I love you. My e-mail is pir8chic@sonic.net, and my Twitter is @sophalophagus.

1. My last name is Billen. which means literally "ass" in dutch (my native language). i've got the name of my mother, the last name of my father is Voeten, which means literally "feet". talking about being born for luck.
2. I've had this weird habit. when i was younger, i talked in pairs. That means that every word had to be even, like "coat" is ok, but "skirt" isn't, since there are five letters instead of 4 or 6. I can tell you, at that time, having a conversation was a real challenge.Especially since i can be a real chatterbox.

SO I was in Japan when I was 15 for a class trip. It was around 1am and I was desperately hungry. My friends and I couldn't leave to roam the streets for food so we decided to sneak into the kitchen of the monastery to see what we could find. We found some rice. There were five of us in on the scheme but clearly not enough food for everyone. We decided to make it a game: streak around the monastery grounds= rice.

RAN INTO A MONK… our school has never been aloud to go back to that monastery but I didn't go hungry!
Side note: I would do the same for this bag… and you clearly! (lady boner inducing, I know)

i am currently poor as hell but when i take out my huge loan for med school i am already planning to take out a little extra so i can start dressing like the fashionista inside of me.
i will continue to look to you for inspiration so the day that i can afford it, i will try to look half as wonderful as you do!
keep on keepin on and being bad ass.

oops. i didn't post anything unusual.
one time in 5th grade my grandma gave me this expired gum and I was chewing it at a high school volleyball game and it turned to liquid in my mouth. when i told me mom i was going to the bathroom it started dripping out of my mouth and people started yelling to everyone that i was throwing up.
i was so embarrassed i tried to tell them it was just my gum but it just made it worse.
then when i tried to clean off my face it had dried and the paper towels stuck all over my face also.
most embarrassing, moment, ever.

You're absolutely stellar and freaking hilarious, please be my life coach. I wish all college students were as fashionable as you are. I guess the flood of sweatpants and oversized sweatshirts that dominate my campus are man repellers, but…

My name's Atira (atira.richards@gmail.com) and when I get really tired, my eyeballs squeak audibly when I rub them. I thought it was just an internal squeak that only I could hear until my room mates wondered where the loud squeaking was coming from. With the onslaught of finals week, it's become even more apparent–Spring Break come sooner.

I adore you. Sometimes, before we go out, my boyfriend asks if my outfit is "man repellent." To which I reply, IF YOU HAVE TO ASK THEN IT SURELY IS NOT, FOOL. And then I put on another watch (avec une calculatrice) or some confusing tights so there is no question about the ability to stifle libidos all around.
get at me, girlette–that purse needs me.

Unusual Fun Fact: my left foot is a whole size bigger than my right, which makes shoe shopping EXTRA exciting.

Love your blog!

I like to abbreviate things, even if they are already abbreviated. Why say gps when you can blend it all into one word- “jips” why say tv when you can just say “tiv”, and of course, sushi is too many syllables. I call it “sush”

Love you, and I would have to say one interesting fact about myself would have to be that even though I am almost 22 years old, I am obsessed with Hello Kitty.

Fun facts about me: I'm often mistaken for a high schooler, to the point where I'm often carded at R-rated flicks despite the fact that I'm 25 years old. My mother decided to make my middle name Lauren after Ralph Lauren himself. Also, I can pick things up with my toes, and my loved ones affectionately refer to this action as showing off my monkey feet. Oh yes, nothing sexier than that.

Hahaha Love you!

Unusual fact? i think that i love to eat a strange combination, strawberry yogurt with sausages!
and that i love leopard print?

Saludos de México!

1) Love you – the first time I read about you was in an issue of Vogue while on a plane and my boyfriend looked over and said why would any girl think that outfit was attractive – I laughed at how perfect his comment was – been in love with your blog since then.

2) @IMaeBe, i.belobradic@live.com

3) First, let me preface this with that I'm still at the office and not making much sense anymore because I haven't stopped working before 1am in about 2 weeks (very sleep deprived). One weird fact about me {maybe not super weird} but I love fashion but never seem to notice people's clothes unless they're amazing – what I do notice is amazing couples – I guess that's the hopeless romantic in me? But how great is a fantastic, adorable couple. I don't think it's that weird – but many of friends do considering how much I love fashion.

fact: i can't stick my tongue out. talk about man repelling

Gurrrllll
This week, while partaking in some extracurricular beverage consumption in my fabulous faux-fur vest (a.k.a. Bear costume) at the bar where I normally work, my manager took one look at me and said, "What the hell are you wearing?" I shed a single tear of joy.
I have a strange inkling that this type of reaction is the reason I have been single for almost five years now….
Oh Repeller of the Male Species: I love you, I love you, I love you, and where you go I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow, You'll always be my true love, my true love, my true love, from now until forever-
And, scene.

1. Totally love you- and tell all my friends to read your blog
2. @danieladawson
3. Spanish was my first language but have forgotten how to speak it (I can understand it ish more than I can speak… Its a travisty I know) but I still sometimes have dreams in spanish- and my heritage has def influenced my style over the years.

Oh man repeller, I almost missed the deadline! I've been mulling over which unusual fact to tell you for a few days now, and I think I've finally found the right one. Here it goes: when I was a kid, my mom and I spent Christmas in Argentina. While we were there, we picked up a rather strange and mostly illegal habit…

…are you ready….?

….. am I killing you with the suspense…..?

Just kidding, I won't overdo it with the ellipses. That would just be rude.

The habit is streaking! Every New Years Eve, Argentinean women wear a brand new pair of pink undies for good luck. If you're really gung-ho, you can also carry a suitcase with you to your New Year's party, which is supposed to ensure that you will travel in the New Year. If you're cray-cray like my mom and I, you can walk around the block carrying your suitcase and wearing nothing but your fab new panties and a fur coat. We’ve now extended this tradition to our friends, so every New Years, without fail, you’ll see a group of ladies walking half naked around my block. While this may seem like a staged and desperate man-getting event on my part, or a desperate cry to the New Years Eve gods that someone, SOMEONE might see my pink panties other than my mother who bought them for me, this event has in fact never snagged me a boi. Last year I did catch a cold though! It’s a start, I guess.
With love,
Emily Buck

OMG I love you Jimany cricket. Laughing out loud!

I am now following you on twitter i am @foundrym

interesting fact about me: I make wearable art/jewelry out of recycled building materials and found items. Nothing confuses a man more than building supplies on a necklace. Depending on the man he is either totally intrigued and wants to take you straight to his place from home depot or he says, "what? why?" unless he is Marc Jacobs then he does neither of these things but instead make your own nut necklace.

Hate ta tell ya, but anything that shows legs (especially in tights) does NOT repel men!

10 Aturan Bergaya "Color-Blocking"

Tren fashion paling diminati pada 2011 ini adalah color blocking. Pekan mode untuk koleksi spring/summer 2011 menampilkan para model dalam warna-warna cerah, seperti terlihat pada koleksi Jil Sanders, Missoni, dan Diane von Furstenberg (DVF). Namun, bagaimana menerapkan gaya ini dalam penampilan sehari-hari tanpa terlihat terlalu meriah? Berikut cara memadukannya.

Kombinasi warna yang tepat
Tidak semua warna tampak pas ketika dipadupadankan. Anda perlu memilih kombinasi warna yang tepat untuk mendapatkan efek yang maksimal. Warna-warna yang bisa ditabrakkan antara lain pink dan ungu, oranye dan biru, merah dan pink, serta biru cerah dan merah. Koleksi Jil Sander untuk spring/summer 2011 bisa ditiru untuk mendapatkan kombinasi warna yang asyik.

Semakin terang semakin baik
Jika Anda mengenakan color blocking dari kepala hingga kaki, pastikan warna-warnanya secerah mungkin. Warna-warna pucat dan pastel akan terkesan nanggung, tak peduli sebanyak apa pun warna yang Anda tabrakkan.

Jins selain biru dan hitam
Item yang bisa dilibatkan dalam permainan warna adalah jins. Anda menemukan jins berwarna merah, hijau, atau pink? Jangan ragu memakainya. Apabila Anda kurang berani memakai warna-warna yang terang untuk jins, coba aplikasikan koleksi spring/summer 2011 dari Isabel Marant. Padukan dengan sweater polos atau t-shirt warna kelabu muda.

Kombinasikan bahannya
Agar warna terang yang Anda pilih tidak terkesan terlalu panas, pilih bahan sutra, satin, dan taffeta dalam warna-warna terang. Contohnya seperti pada koleksi spring/summer 2011 dari Diane von Furstenberg. Kombinasi bahan ini akan menambahkan kesan glamor pada penampilan Anda, dan memberikan kombinasi warnanya yang terang terasa lebih mewah.

Satu naungan warna
Jika Anda tidak cukup berani menabrakkan warna, Anda masih dapat mengenakan tren ini dengan memakai satu warna dari naungan warna yang sama dari atas ke bawah. Contohnya, Anda bisa memakai gaun maxi berwarna kuning cerah, pink, atau merah cerah, seperti pada koleksi spring/summer 2011 dari Michael Kors dan Lanvin.

Padukan dengan "t-shirt" putih
Show dari Moschino Cheap and Chic memperlihatkan celana panjang warna cerah dengan t-shirt warna putih yang simpel. Pilih kaos dari bahan katun dan sutra yang akan bertumpuk dengan baik. Bahan ini akan melengkapi celana panjang atau rok warna cerah dengan cantik.

Aksesori berwarna
Tak mau mengenakan pakaian yang serba berwarna cerah? Kenakan saja satu atau dua aksesori dalam warna-warna yang menyolok. Misalnya, clutch warna pink, sepatu warna kuning neon, gelang biru, atau belt oranya. Seru, kan? Aksesori itu akan cukup mencuri perhatian tanpa membuat Anda merasa tak nyaman.

Padukan warna cerah dengan yang netral
Untuk memberikan sentuhan yang lebih ringan, kenakan satu item dengan warna yang cerah, lalu pilih warna yang netral untuk sisanya. Misalnya, shift dress warna merah, biru, atau oranye pasti akan berpadu sempurna dengan sepatu wedge warna nude.

Kenakan motif garis dalam warna cerah
Koleksi L.A.M.B milik Gwen Stefani dan Marc Jacobs sama-sama menampilkan baju terusan dengan motif garis dalam warna seperti biru dan merah. Begitu pula pada koleksi Isabel Marant dan Jil Sander. Anda tinggal memadukannya dengan high heels atau wedges warna nude.

Pastikan warnanya cocok untuk ke kantor
Banyak koleksi brand kelas menengah, seperti Zara atau Topshop menawarkan koleksi pakaian yang warnanya menyolok tanpa mengorbankan keseriusannya. Agar tren ini juga bisa dipakai untuk ke kantor, pilih setelan dalam warna-warna yang cerah. Contohnya, ganti blazer Anda yang berwarna biru tua dengan warna biru yang lebih muda. Untuk mengurangi kesan colorful-nya, kenakan dalaman berwarna putih.
